I heard about a guy who has a monkey. It was a very nice monkey. It wore a little hat. From this, I will now deduce that every man has a monkey, and that all monkeys are nice and wear little hats.

If the dog is well behaved, and no one is deathly allergic to or afraid of the dog, there should be no reason why it can't accompany its owner to work. Without all these criteria satisfied, no dog. If the dog helps you code or do whatever it is you do, then great.
To the people who are whining: grow up. The dog isn't going to eat you, shit on the floor, or anything like that.
Is it? I heard their amazing starts were due to a loophole in the gear shift rules. Basically, it works like this:
The team has (for example) 500ms to let the computer control the engine to execute a gear change. Renault has got gear changes down to a science, and only needs 10ms. The other 490ms are still "ok" to have the computer control the engine. It's not a lot of time, but every little bit helps...
My numbers might be off, but this is the way I understand how they do it..
That's great. Really, great. You missed the entire point of my post, however. It is silly to put any "grade" on a box of CDRs since they're all manufactured using the same processes by OEM's who make CDR's for just about everyone. One day a company might be making cheap-ass-cdr's, the next day it might be making some fancy expensive ones. They're the same crap, with the brand names usually spending an extra penny or two on some paint on the top of the CD.
Well, yes. It IS possible to install a tire without special equipment. IF RFID tags are required by law in tires, obviously the government would not want to allow people to have tire mounting machines to make things harder. Then, they will make it impossible to buy the tires without the tags. Finally, once all the used tires run out, you will probably have a really difficult time finding a tire with no rfid tags...
While it's obvious that you live under a bridge, it is also obvious that you have never been in a serious relationship with a woman. If you had, you would realize that women are not exactly rational about everything.
First, you are correct, I shouldn't have used "created"...
I fully agree that large amounts of artistic and mathematical talent are required to generate interesting fractals.. (.. Yes, generate seems to be the correct term.)
In my eyes, fractal art is in the same family as spirograph and spin art. I don't think that utilizing algorithms or whatnot to create art is any less skillfull than using a brush and paint or building a sculpture.
How can you claim that you've created these fractals? Aren't they rooted in mathematics? Wouldn't that mean that you just ripped off your art from Math?
I have also already approached my roomie and my sister about following up with that list for me as a last wish if and when the inevitable should occur.
Buddy, believe me when I tell you this, it's not an if question, it's definately a when question.
Funny, in NJ the State Troopers do the exact opposite!
You'll be crusing on the NJ Turnpike doing about 75 in the right or center lane, and one of two things will happen:
1. Trooper will come up behind you doing approx 90-100mph (no emergency lights), ride your bumper for about 15 seconds, then shoot into the left lane, and take off.
2. Trooper is cruising up the left lane at 90-100mph, and blows by before you even have a chance to notice he's there.
I've had both happen to me very frequently. There are a few troopers in NJ who have bumper stickers that say "Be Glad I'm Not Behind You!".
Erm, when I refer to Linux, I mean the kernel. That's what Linux is, that nifty binary image that sits on your hardware and makes your SOFTWARE DISTRIBUTION work. Ok, let's set this semantics argument aside.
We're arguing about degrees, which is pretty silly and definately pointless. I think the important theme to take away from this is that IBM is a fine example of why OSS kicks ass. I don't have the resources to get the stuff done that IBM gets done. Luckily, IBM does have the resources! It works out for everyone. If they did pull support, linux wouldn't break, but development would surely slow down.

Wrong, wrong, wrong.
I am schooled as a transportation planner. That being said, traffic laws vary from state to state, but in general, every state has laws against impeding traffic. While you are correct that driving over the speed limit is illegal, it is importatn to note that impeding the flow of traffic is also illegal. Even if someone is speeding, you are still required to yield well in advance to the overtaking vehicle.
Sorry bub, you're not allowed to play traffic cop in your mom's minivan.

Boo! That's nothing. Try taking the Lincoln Tunnel from NYC to NJ at morning rush hour. There is a center concrete divider, but the fun part is that the far left lane of the outbound (NYC-NJ) lanes are used as a inbound bus lane! No divider there. Imagine driving out of NY at 60mph, and driving straight on at busses at 60mph. That, my friend, is hair raising.

Obviously the dog (and your "girlfriend"? .. same being?) is not well behaved if she shits on the floor.
If each of those $20,000 people had $100, maybe they could become a "bush ranger" and bush might listen to them.

I love how you say "consumer grade" as if all CDR's aren't built in the same facilities...
